Josh Palmer has created initial plans for a skateboarding project including a mind map, mood board, and informal proposal. The mood board focuses on repeated colors, styles, and tones to capture a skating mood. This will influence the final product by bringing together different ideas. The current concept is a skate edit video along with additional products like a magazine, thumbnail, and merchandise. The skate edit will require software like Photoshop and Premier Pro and raw video clips. The primary audience for the project is 12-18 year old skateboarders, with a secondary audience of adult skaters. Initial discounted ideas were a magazine alone and photography alone, as the skate edit allows for incorporating both into one project.Photo Critiquing Erin McHugh

1. Mind map - Allows listing of ideas paired with photos but lacks creativity.
2. Mood board - Highly visual but cannot explain choices.
3. Style sheet - Explores colors and fonts but lacks interest.
4. Layout plan - Helps visualize the poster but limits variety.

It includes examples of photos taken of landmarks like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace where multiple images are overlaid to create layered effects. In the photos, the layers become darker and more blurred the more images that are overlapped. Adjusting the camera angle for each shot and using different exposure settings results in interesting color variations between the layers. The document evaluates how well the photos fulfill the goal of being experimental and matching the assigned theme of multiple exposures.Learning 101: Presentation Skills

You have been assigned a 6 photo weekend project using vanishing points and different camera angles. The photos should include long roads, tall buildings, shadows or objects where lines converge at a single point in the distance. You should take risks with high, low and unusual camera angles, and include people to create drama and perspective. The 6 photos are due on Tuesday, along with a contact sheet to print for class.Perspective photography
Perspective photographyLe G辿n辿ral Pro

Perspective in photography refers to the sense of depth created by the spatial relationships between objects in an image based on the camera position. There are two main types of perspective: 2D perspective, where horizontal lines vanish toward two points on the horizon line but vertical lines do not follow those rules; and 3D perspective, where lines vanish toward points both above and below the horizon line. Perspective photography uses techniques like converging parallel lines to give the viewer a sense of depth in an image by scaling objects in the foreground against those in the background.Andrea Bruce

These tips will help improve photography skills. Choose a clear subject for each photo and don't try to include too much. Overcast skies can wash out photos, so use black and white or wait for a bright blue sky. Make sure batteries are charged to avoid missing shots. Start with simple camera settings like shutter speed before moving to more advanced settings. Blur backgrounds slightly for photos of people to focus on the subject. Experiment with angles, colors, and features to develop a unique style. Make sure subjects are close enough to see details and are off-center for interest. Adjust white balance for fluorescent lighting to avoid cool tones. Following these tips can help capture moments through improved photography.8 Techniques of Modeling Photography
